Lesley Logan
Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I’m Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I’ve trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it’s the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It’s a practice, not a perfect. Let’s get started.

Hi, Be It babe. Oh my gosh, I’m coming into this FYF after having just two epic interviews, like, just so freaking great. So you know, part of my wins are just that I’m like, loving the guests that we’re attracting for this podcast. They’re just freaking phenomenal, making me be a better interviewer. For sure. I’m having to learn a lot really fast. But, first, we obviously share your wins, then we share a win of mine and a little mantra. So this one is from Jennifer L., Jennifer Lapina. She is an eLevate member of mine, so at this point she’ll have graduated from round four, and she says happy to be enjoying my North Carolina home, sitting on my French porch, listening to the birds, crickets and frogs, watching the fireflies as I type. This evening, met virtually with Yasmine in Germany and she helped me overcome my spine extension anxiety, and I’m thrilled to be working out with my instructor of 15 years, Amanda, at Core Integrity Greensboro. She’s an amazing instructor and friend and her feedback has been invaluable to my practice. I’m playing around with all of her classical equipment (inaudible), especially loving the foot corrector and the high chair, and Amanda and I are swapping private. So that’s a win-win. Finalize the details to co-host my first retreat on the island of Crete in October, and I’m happy to meet up with more of you virtually now that I’m on the eastern side of the world and my summer schedule. And I’m finally feeling a connection to my seat on a daily basis. I mean, just love those wins. Jennifer’s like, little wins each and every time. And like, also some of those wins are after, like, working towards those things. So I also just want to say, how cool is it? You had a teacher for 15 years and now you’re teaching her. Congratulations. So, so, so stoked for you. So thank you for sharing that.

Okay, we have one more win. I want to share this, but it’s also from eLevate round four person. You know, we truly love, love, love, love, our eLevators. It’s one of my favorite things that I get to do. This is by Ainsley Walker. I looked at my new schedule for September, and I realized I have more duets than ever. It’s what Brad advised on our one-to-one. I have eight. I have reduced my mat classes to five weekly sessions, and the remainder 50% are one-to-ones. I’m happy with that as I realize it’s what I have nurtured to happen with the teaching confidence gained from this group. I still find duets harder than one-to-ones and I’m figuring it out and playing with them to discover how it can be easeful. I’m comfortable being uncomfortable in that. I’ve moved my advanced client for two hours working through all her reformer headstand moves. I had the posters and the flashcards, and it was so fun seeing a body in front of me doing the moves that hopefully will be in my practice in the future. I stood strong on my price raises, even when questioned, I smile with confidence and it enabled me to keep doing what I am doing, not become overworked and put my clients first as a priority. Everyone understood and I got incredible feedback from a new client who seems to be getting, doing the rounds of the reformer (inaudible) saying that my class was the best, had the most impact on her body with simple instructions and simple-wise, it all made sense. Ainsley, I’m just like in awe of these. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you for celebrating the wins of your clients, but also of yourself. And it takes time to stand in your worth and know that, and also to really make sure that prioritizing yourself helps you prioritize them. So congratulations, and all those works of like makes you imagine and change in the schedule so they can be what you want it to be, so you can show up as your best self. So thank you so much.

All right, you guys, my win. So I think I’ve shared this at the beginning of the year, that I want to be more intentional with my friendships. And I started this year off with having a couple days with a staycation with friends, and then it’s actually been a really difficult trying to, because I’m also trying to, like, make friends in my town. Not that I don’t have friends, because they’re probably listening. Hi, guys! But like, having, like, friends who understand the work that I do, and just being more intentional with that. And this week that you’re listening to this, I’m seeing two friends who don’t live near me, because I actually was able, Brad and I were able to make it a point to stay in LA an extra day on our way home from Thailand and Cambodia to celebrate a 50th birthday of a friend. And next week, when I get home, I get to celebrate another friend’s 50th birthday. And so, you know, I think the win is that sometimes it can be kind of like focusing, like I gotta make more friends here, and in trying to make more time for friendships, I’ve just made more time for the friendships that I have. And I can look back at this year and see there’s been a lot of in-person connections with the people I’ve loved for many, many years. It came from intentionality. And last week’s win was on intentionality. This week’s win is on intentionality. And so maybe it’s a theme for this month. I don’t know. We’ll see, but I just want to share that I’m just really so freaking stoked for myself as you listen to this, I’ll be flying back from Thailand to spend the day with one friend at a spa in LA so we can celebrate another friend’s birthday, and none of us live in the same town. And no, it’s not easy. It took work. It took a lot of extra work. It means recording FYFs and podcasts in advance. It means being extremely planned ahead. But so I could have this win, worth all the extra planning. Worth all of it. Worth all of it.

Okay, let me leave you with a mantra for your weekend. Are you ready for it? When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. Oh, that’s so good. When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. All right, love, go celebrate your wins. Send them in to us. We’d love to celebrate them with you, and until next time, Be It Till You See It.
